<p>Please seek counseling on campus before you decide. DS1 had a rough first year at an extremely small LAC. Counseling helped tremendously in recognizing toxic people to avoid, as well as identifying the behaviors he was engaging in that others found objectionable. So did talking with professors he trusted. It was a great life lesson for him. He turned it around second year, made friends with some folks whom hadn’t liked him at all and earned the respect of others. </p>
<p>We all face bullies at jobs and in life, and we all can find ways to improve our relationships with others. First, learn what you can about the situation and yourself from an objective source. Then do what is best for you.</p>
